We transform the research systemfrom supply-oriented to demand based. Rather than asking the scientists what they are researching for, we will ask our agricultural stakeholder every year what issues we should resolve through research.

Our Coordination Cell will announce the issues and challenges the scientists to come forward to propose research to resolve these issues.As the challenge is to resolve the issues, the proposed projects must be multi-disciplinary...

We have also set up a Monitoring and Evaluation Cell which will oversee the progress of the project and suggest measures to overcome problems in its implementation. It will also analyze the impact of the farmers on various stakeholders.
